Question

if the atomic mass unit 'u' were defined to be 1/5th of the mass of an atom of C-12, what would be the atomic weight of nitrogen in amu or 'u' in this state? Atomic weight of N on conventional scale is 14 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the mass of carbon was reported as 12.011amu, which is the average mass of the carbon atom. The atomic mass on the relative scale is C – 12 and all the masses of the elements are determined relative to C – 12. Hence, the correct answer is option 5.8 aproxx
